Our sofa story...

Joe and I had decided to buy new couches with part of our tax return. We were sick of our old couches which were saggy and getting quite uncomfortable in our opinion. We had been shopping a couple times and picked out what we wanted but decided to wait until we actually received our return before we bought. Joe had decided to just give our couches away because he didn't think we could get any money for them. I thought we should put them on craigslist for $40, just to get some money for them. In our experience with craigslist, we expected the couches to take a week or two to sell. Seeing as our new furniture would take a week to come in once we ordered them, we thought it would be wise to get the ball rolling on selling our old couch set. Well, apparently we priced them TOO low. Within the first 10 minutes of being posted, I had over 10 calls. We were to have people over that Sunday for the Superbowl, so I kept telling people that I wouldn't get rid of them until at least Monday. One guy was so adamant about wanting the couch set that he paid us $100 to take them that night. I couldn't resist the extra money so I consented and we started our week and a half of sitting on the floor. The first couple days weren't bad but as time wore on, we were getting very sick of sitting on the floor. Our Superbowl guests were very gracious about sitting on blankets on the floor. We were originally told it would take one week to get the new furniture in, but it actually took a week and a half. When they called last night I begged and pleaded to have them drop them off that night. I think the man had pity on me because they dropped our furniture off at 7:45 last night. I have never been so happy to sit on furniture! I love the way it all goes together. I especially love my accent chair!

The fabric is a very soft microfiber (which is awesome with children!) that is made to look like corduroy. My accent chair. This chair was discontinued the day before we went to order the furniture but fortunately they still had some in stock. Luck! Also, even though it's an accent chair, it is quite comfortable to sit in. Can you tell the baby is excited about the furniture?
